Name: Raisin Scones
Yield: Makes about 22 scones
Ingredients: 4 cups all purpose flour; 1/2 cup sugar; 4 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, diced; 1/2 cup golden raisins; 1/2 cup raisins; 1 cup whipping cream; 3 large eggs; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel; 2 teaspoons water

"The scones from Bon Bonerie in Cincinnati are moist, light and sweet," says John Van Eeckhout of Norfolk, Virginia. "When I lived in the area, one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday morning was to read the newspaper in the bakery's adjacent tearoom while enjoying a raisin scone with clotted cream, preserves and a cup of coffee."

Raisin Scones are also delicious served with butter and jam.
